Fenrir

At the end of the day, when everyone began to go home, Kratos removed his hat, hung it on the coat hanger then walked inside followed by Guilty and Quency. Both watched as he grabbed a big bottle of whiskey and poured himself a double shot.

Guilty walked over to him and waited until he had downed his whole drink.

"You ok?"

He sighed as he put the whiskey away as he could not even get drunk anymore. He has tried it before and he already knew at least one of his kidneys had gotten switched out.

"I am technically fine, but my father simply refuses to tell me what happened to me. I tried to get answers from him before, but it all results in the same. I am just sick of it. Why can't I know what was done to me? What organs did I lose? 

It's not even about being human, being a Nikke won't be too bad. But the fact I don't know angers me." 

Quency sat down at the table and put the bottle of whiskey in her pocket while Kratos watched.

"So you just going to take that?"

She put it back with a small giggle. 

"It would go for a lot inside. Anyway, let's look at the facts. How were you injured in the first place?" 

Kratos squinted his eyes as he sat down to explain. 

"Well, it happened a couple of months ago. After I was assigned to my mass-produced squad, we were sent on some very dangerous missions. Only because of the training I had gone through under Hera and my own tactical genius did we survive each time. 

Time and time again I pushed us through these missions alive but banged up. The last mission I was assigned to was to investigate a pre-Rapture War stockpile of weapons and supplies. 

It's been a long time since then so they sent us up there to decide if the cash was worth the effort. After we found the cash and opened it up. When we did, we found it was full to the brim with weapons, ammunition, and vehicles. 

Just as I was going to report it, I heard a loud rapture howl as best as I can explain it. We braced for battle and that was where I met Fenrir as I call him. He is a Lord Class Rapture of exceptional power. 

3 of the Nikkes held him off with their weapons and the 4th armed herself with the bigger explosives of the cash. The 5th put me on her shoulders and ran off at full speed. We did not look back as the sound of gunfire and explosives raged behind us. 

However, it seemed that holding Fenrir back proved to be a bit too much as despite their efforts, he got me. I turned around and saw he had launched an explosive at us. The Nikke running with me turned around and used herself to brace, but the explosion still tore me open. 

The shrapnel tore through my body, my limbs were ripped off my body, my ear burst, and most of my skin was beyond saving. I don't know how I am still alive, will power? Stronger than average endurance. Or, dumb luck? 

The nikke who was also hit in the blast despite being just as wounded as me, injected my heart with a dose of adrenaline to keep it beating. As the other 4 held Fenrir back, she dragged herself and me to the nearest elevator. 

When we were back, everything blacked out. The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes two months later were Mary and Pepper who were standing over me. I of course woke up in a mad rage of panic. 

With my newly enhanced body, it was obviously going to be dangerous so they had me strapped down with Nikke grade restraints. It took Pepper no small amount of effort to get me to calm down. When I finally did, I realized why I was alive and what happened. 

Yet they only told me of my arm, leg, and eye, nothing else. Not even of what it took to save my life and just recently I learned my spine had to be replaced. Now we are here." 

Quilty and Quency after hearing his story looked up at him. Realizing that there was more to him than just confidence. It was not fear that he had, it was distrust. Quency sighed. 

"That sounds rough. Not knowing what they changed from under the hood would do that." 

He nodded. 

"True. Even my skin is not my own as it is just the same as any other Nikke." 

He leaned back and looked up. 

"Oh well, no point brooding about it. Now then, shouldn't you be getting back to your sell?" 

Quency nodded. 

"Let me go change. They will ask questions about why I am all dressed up." 

"Why do you wear those skimpy clothes?" 

She blushed slightly while whistling. 

"Well, they made me wear those so I have nothing to hide. You like?" 

"No. Not really. I think it's too revealing." 

"Ouch. Way to cut deep? Be seeing you, boss." 

He nodded as she went up to her room to change. When she came back she was back in her jump suit. As she walked past him she suddenly reached up and grabbed him by his shoulder. She pulled him down slightly and gave him a small peck on his cheek. 

"Thanks for the fun time. Your family was interesting." 

With that, she left out the front door without stealing anything. He stood back up and crossed his arms. He had a smirk on his face as how could he not? Behind him, Guilty he had a look that could kill. 

Her teeth were clenched and her face was pulled back into a snarl. He turned around and smirked. 

"Mad?" 

As soon as he saw her, she changed. 

"Ah, sorry." 

"Don't be. Tell me how you feel. Why?" 

Guilty thought about it about why she felt this way. She had only known Kratos for a month so far, but why did she care so much? 

"Seeing that made me extremely angry. It made me feel like she was stealing you away from me." 

Kratos raised an eye brow. 

"And why do you feel that way?" 

"You are the first person in my life to make me feel welcome. I think." 

He walked over to her and took off her hat. He ruffled her hair a bit and put her hat back down. 

"I ain't going anywhere." 

He was about to walk away, but Guilty walked next to him. 

"Would you mind leaning down?" 

"You going to kiss my cheek as well?" 

"Maybe." 

He leaned down, but not expectin' it she quickly pecked him on his lips. Before he could say anything she ran off to her room. Kratos was left awwed for a time as he stood back up. 

Just as he was thinking it over, he turned around and saw Quency behind him. 

"You big cheater. I lay my mark on you and you go around kissing her. I am going to cry, playing with a lady's heart won't end well for you." 

"Please, you girls choose to kiss me not the other way around. And I thought you were leaving." 

Quency nodded. 

"I was, but I wanted to see the chaos my prank caused. And it did not disappoint. For real this time, goodbye."

With that, she left for real leaving Kratos sighing. 

'Women.' 

He walked up to his room, took a before-bed shower, and got to bed afterward. When he woke up the next morning, as expected Guilty was a bit awkward at the table. She was quiet and did not speak to him. So he allowed her the courtesy of not bothering her. 

When they got done eating, they left back toward the prison to visit Quency. As they were walking toward the prison, Kratos got a phone call which he answered. 

"Hello." 

"Kratos, this is Deputy Chief Andersen." 

"Ah, how may I be of assistance?" 

"It's about Quency. We know she had been visiting you." 

Kratos sighed. 

"Will I be taken off the case for hiding this?" 

Andersen stayed quite for a few moments before speaking. 

"No. Allow me to explain. When it was discovered she was leaving prison and staying with you, we understood you some how managed to curb her cleptomania. Her stealing was not why she was locked up, it was her skill with stealth and break in. 

If she broke into the Central Government she could steal top secret information which was why she was in prison. However, from what we observed you have everything in control." 

"I understand. I thank you for the second chance?" 

"Don't mention it. However, do not take it as easy with Sin. Quency was a unique case as she is nonviolent. She should be arriving near you soon. Her tracking device says so." 

Kratos looked up and saw Quency dressed up the clothes he gave her. She took them with her and dressed into them when she got released. 

"Hey Commander. They let me go early. Of course, still got to wear the chains and stuff." 

Hearing that Andersen nodded. 

"With that done, you are clear to begin reabilitation on Sin." 

"Sir, she is beyond reabilitation. I will say it now, but she cannot be redeemed. I can however, keep her in line. When can I begin?" 

"Today. With that said, I have a meeting to attend." 

Andersen hung up the call which made Kratos sigh. 

"Of course they would keep me observed." 

Quency grinned. 

"So? We seeing our very dangerous Sin?" 

"Yes." 

"Awesome possum." 

Guilty frowned and shot Quency a small glare. Seeing that Quency wrapped her arm around Kratos' waist. 

"Scary?"

Guilty squinted her eyes, but before she could get madder Kratos calmed her down. 

"Relax Guilty. I don't mind." 

"But, I do. She can do what I can't." 

Realizing that she was being insecure, Quency let go of Kratos and walked over. She wrapped her arms behind Quilty and gave her a hug. 

"Sorry for teasing you. But you got to admit, Kratos is a catch in a half. He is like a rare bottle cap." 

Guilty nodded. 

"He is?" 

Kratos raised his hands and walked away letting them have their girl talk. He who had no experince with women when confused simply walked away. Seeing that, Quency tightened her hug and whispered in her ear. 

"You know, he is single and has no experince with women. Normal women will be forever lost to him, but we Nikkes are diffrent. How about we share him?" 

Guilty thought about it. Quency was like her, and Kratos was unique. It would not be too weird as Kratos himself was more than human. 

"If you help me, I don't think I will mind." 

Kratos shivered as he felt as if he just signed his life away. When he looked behind him, Quency and Guilty were running back to him. He allowed them to walk free without the restraints, they were still there. 

It caused their chains to rattle before they were at either side of him. He squinted his eyes and asked them directly. 

"What are you scheming?" 

Quency grinned. 

"Your harem." 

"Huh? I aint muslim or mormom." 

Quency snorted. 

"Don't tell you that you would pass up the chance to have both of us?" 

"If it will make me live longer yes." 

Guilty looked a bit sad. 

"That a no?" 

"It's not a no, but it's not a yes either." 

She sighed in relief before smiling a bit. Her tounge stuck out a bit in her sadistic gaze. 

"Then, we will just have to make you change your mind Kratos." 

Kratos' lips pulled back into a grin of his own. This caused his teeth to be fully bared like a beast. Some of his teeth were pointed and sharp like a wolf. They were synthetic like much of his body. 

"Then you better try your best because I am not an easy man to claim." 

As one, Guilty and Quency spoke. 

"We intend to." 

He laughed as he walked toward the prison once more. Time to see Sin, the most dangerous of the three. 

(So, Quency, Guilty and Sin. We got three more to go max, but which ones? So many choices and the work to make it work will be hard. Guess that is why this fanfic is taking so long to write.)
